Treasure Found at "Cocktail Cove" ! ! !

[The Kraken]

Hey, Looney Birds ! ! !

Exciting news !!!

I was diving at Cocktail Cove on Lake Lanier this past Thursday looking for treasures and I found some ! ! !

Especially if you're of a marine biologist set.

Found a fresh water clam/mussel shell 10" long, 6" wide and 2-1/2" deep!

Sorry if it wasn't what you were hoping for, the lost Rolex, diamond ring or whatever, but for me it was exciting none the less.

I've seen some large fresh water mollusks, but never one this big. Would have made a complete meal by itself.

Oh, the surface temp was 86 and 79 at 26 feet.

i plan on diving there alot after boat season winds down,it is hard to dive there on the weekends now with all the boat traffic,should slow down alot after labor day. dennis i need to talk to you about doing a advanced course,i want to start diving some wrecks some and probably need a advanced card to show them to get on some of the boats,not really looking to do any penetrations but would like to do the orsikiny and maybe some north carolina wreck trips.
